**** Official 2026 MBB Spring Transfer Portal Thread ****

[RoseClone]

Let's be fair, both of his coaches left after the year. You can't expect him to stay for someone he's never met or barely knows.

Ya, sure, that's what it is.

So collectively none of us have any clue about transfers that may or may not be associated with Iowa State?

 

[SoleCyclone]

We barely knew thee...

I always wondered what happened with him. My son played against him in high school and he was absolutely amazing.

Michigan just won a national title playing 2 bigs who don't stretch the floor.

But wait, i thought guards win in march? Michigan had best and most bigs. They are the champs.

 

[Cyforce]

Good Lord. I would love to see his list of places he has played since his freshman year of HS. Seven in 7 years?

West Des Moines, IA
Somewhere in MO
Waukee. IA
Ames. IA
Winston-Salem, NC

I am declaring for the portal! Anybody need an oldster(72)?

I think you misunderstood the portal - we pay you, not you pay us,

They did tonight. Dusty May is a really good coach. Smart enough to know if you ain't hitting 3's. Pound the paint.

But over the course of the season, Mara and Johnson combined for 50mpg. So the key was a stretch 4- Lendeborg.

Your point on not having a stretch 4 probably applies more to Arizona.

But thought the tournament showed, it really helps to have a 7'+ post who impacts shots, clogs the paint and has some low post game.

Johnson’s not a traditional back the basket big man and like Mara, Buchanan, Pleta (for now). He can drive the ball from the 3 point line plus make a 3 every now and then. Tre King but 2 inches taller.

I suppose it helps when you can afford the very best bigs

Per The Athletic “north of $10M”

Mac’s replacement has been at Creighton a long time.

One year. He'd been at Creighton previously but that was before anyone on the current roster would have been there. Huss was at High Point for 3 years.

IIRC, that's more than our alleged total NIL budget this year

 

[ripvdub]

So it's anyone going to announce where they are going today? Does that start today too, or just leaving?

 

[Psiclone]

Buckley may know if ISU has a shot at recruiting him.

 

[cytor]

Undoubtedly the competition would be stiff

The jokes just keep writing themselves.

 

[exCYtable]

Michigan has five transfers starting; you can buy the team you want if you have $15-20M

And that is what is so demoralizing in all this.

Hiese type replacement?? A little smaller though…

Hiese type replacement?? A little smaller though…

Was he committed here at one point? Or just rumored?

I think he’s a lot different than Heise, more offensive focused and much less of a defender/rebounder.

I wouldn’t be shocked if he came here though, TJ obviously knows him well.

IIRC, we backed off him when we got Nojus

Quietest Portal Day around here in a long time….
